Hi, Vista RTM. New install. I become a little bit crazy when trying to do "simple things" ! I have administrator rigths ans I disabled UAC directly after finishing installing Vista. Everything is installing perfectly ... right now I just want to reinstall some data I backed-up. So I try to paste in directory Users\Me.domainName\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\XXXX\ .... and I receive "You need permission to perform this action !!!!". I check "security" for the folder and I have the rights ! I can paste the files in a other directory (let's say Microsoft instead of Mozilla) without any problems ?!? I have the problem with some applications ... Many thanks for help ... as I don't understand what's happening ? Best regards Pierre >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!

Because if you disable the UAC, you loose the file and the registry virtualization and so many applications will stop to work. Enable the UAC and stop complain about it! >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!

All mail clients I know of remember your user/password so he doesn't need to type it everytime he critizises someone for disabling UAC. Perhaps they should, don't you think mik? after all you're posting the message to the world, don't you think it deserves careful concideration before posting? a more secure mail client would prompt for the users password before sending I think, don't you? - Kurt >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!

Was this file created using XP or other OS. I have tried recreating this and it didn't happen, the only time in beta I ever got access denied or permission messages was trying to access XP files.

Haaaaa ... usefull reply No the file I try to access (as I explain) was created during fresh installation of Vista RTM. After I installed Firefox, I was unable to copy back (a file coming from a backup of same program installed in Vista RC1) a file ("bookmark.html") to retrieve my bookmarks. When I try to copy the file I receive "Youd don't have the permission ...". I can copy the same file in other directories under "USERS" (for instance "Thunderbird/profiles") without any problem. Now that I thought about these permissions problem, It is may be because the programs are not compatible with vista and that some thinks are not done correctly ... not microsoft fault ... ? I have same problem "access denied" when trying to install some new application. Again ... may be not compatible with Vista. Can we have an advice from someone from MVP ? Last, I disable UAC because it seems that program giving problem during installation are installing without UAC enabled ... But, for others, UAC give a way to install the program correctly. Hope that other person will continue to give their advice. Waiting to hear from you guys !!

Hi PierreDa, > So I try to paste in directory > Users\Me.domainName\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles\XXXX\ > ... and I receive "You need permission to perform this action !!!!". I don't understand why this would happen. It's your own profile? I don't think it's Mozilla related, they don't mess with permissions. Are you saying you are NOT able to paste ANY file into this folder, or just the bookmarks.htm file? Are you saying it fails with UAC both on, and off? Are you able to paste files into each of thses?

"You need permission to perform this action" !! Are you saying you are unable to paste ANY file into EACH of the folders above? Did you try all the folders I listed? I'm a bit confused about the \Me.domainName\ part of the path? Is this the normal naming convention in Vista, are you on a domain? I ask because the only time you would end up with folders of that name under Win2k was if something had gone wrong with the loading of the profile. Usually the profile would be called something like \Users\Me\AppData\Local\Mozilla -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!

Yes I'm on a domain, and I don"t know if it is the "normal naming" ... I guess Yes ! Local profile is for instance "Users\MyUserName" and domain profile "Users\MyUserName.DomainName". I had always that in Vista. Thanks Pierre >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!

hmmm. i would say that you need to make yourself the owner of the mozilla folders. One annoying thing about vista is that while users have most rights to folders, the super-system account owns them and thus has all permissions. I had a similar problem with my own documents folder. http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-take-ownership-and-full-control...rmissio http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/how-to-take-ownership-and-full-control...rmissio -- haker1glitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haker1glitch's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/161594.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-security/630367.htm http://forums.techarena.in >> Stay informed about: You need permission to perform this action !!!!
